Movie Reviews of The Veil (Special Edition)
Movie Review: A Great Treat for Karloff Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of horror legend Boris Karloff then this collection of 10 episodes of the never-aired 50s TV series "The Veil" will be a wonderful addition to your DVD collection.
All 10 episodes dip into the world of the paranormal (think "One Step Beyond"). Although the episodes offer a mixed bag of quality, at 25 minutes they move along quick enough to make even the mediocre stories tolerable.
Unlike his 60s anthology series, "Thriller," Karloff hosts AND stars in almost all the episodes. What is great about these shows is that they allow Karloff to play a wide variety of character roles. After watching a few shows you will come to realize what a superb actor he really was. With a few subtle changes of clothing and hairstyle he moves from character to character like a chameleon. From wheelchair bound invalid to gruff sea captain to kindly old Italian country doctor he is brilliant in every role.
Something Weird Video has done a superb job of packaging this obscure series. In fact, the presentation here is better than many more famous TV series releases. If Universal ever releases "Thriller" on DVD I doubt they will go the extra mile Something Weird did with "The Veil." The episodes are collected onto two single sided disks (do you hear this Universal?) and you get detailed liner notes with an overview of the whole series and info on each episode.
I debated purchasing this DVD collection for nearly 6 months but am quite pleased I got it. Highly recommended for Karloff fans.
